I can make a pkg for Tahoe two ways; one quick and easy but very dirty way 
would be to let easy_install pull in all the dependencies at build time 
and install everything as an all-or-none type thing.

The harder way would be to make sure some sort of up-to-date pkg already 
exists for all the dependencies, then point to everything appropriately. 
This means I need to make packages not only for tahoe itself, but also for 
pycryptopp, zfec, nevow, foolscap, and any dependencies of theirs that are 
not already in the repos.

(No nevow kind of surprises me. I get to do the Arch world a service, 
woot!)

Anyway, I want to do it the right but harder way, and will need a little 
time to get it rolling. I'll do my best to get it all together in a way 
that will allow me to update to new releases quickly, but getting the 
first one out the door won't be super fast. I have a life, after all-- as 
I'm sure we all do!
